On my new Windows 7 desktop, I tried to open a .jar file, only to be rebuked. And lo, after some Googling, there is. Here’s how:
- Go to the run box and type in cmd. Instead of hitting Enter, use Ctrl + Shift + Enter. This will run the command prompt with Admin rights.
- A dialog box should pop up notifying you of what you’re doing and you have to confirm it. Annoying.
- Type this in to the command line: assoc .jar=CompressedFolder. Press Enter
- Profit!
There you have it kids. Windows 7 opens .jar files like they were .zip files.

I’ve been meaning to turn off that Front Row shortcut for a while now, and now I can!

Hey, hey. Looks like Firebug 1.5.0 has finally come out of beta.
Improvements I actually appreciate:
- Enhanced Inspector
- More accurate Net panel timings
- Improved HTML editing
- Separate Computed CSS and Style subpanels
The other additions are nice, just not sure that I’d actually use them.
This is interesting: VMware has bought Zimbra from Yahoo.
I remember when I was looking into JavaScript frameworks many moons ago and I looked at Zimbra’s and thought it was horrible to use. Not sure if that’s the case anymore, but back when Yahoo bought Zimbra, I always wondered why. Maybe it was the people, but I wasn’t so keen on the technology they bought. Plus, I can’t help but remember all the uncov posts about Zimbra as well.
That all being said, what is VMware going to do with Zimbra?
